Transcode outputs AVI files by default (and currently doesn't know how to
output MPEG files at all), so giving the file a .mpg extension won't
accomplish much.  You can try encoding the video as a raw MPEG-2 video
stream and see if your DVD player can read that:

transcode -i x.dv -x dv,null -o x.mpg -y ffmpeg,null -F mpeg2video \
    --encode_fields p --frame_interval 400 --export_asr 2

(The final --export_asr option is to specify a standard 4:3 aspect ratio;
if your camera is 16:9, use --export_asr 3 instead.)  If that doesn't
work, try renaming x.mpg to x.m2v and running the following command:

mplex -f8 -o x.mpg x.m2v

(mplex is from the mjpegtools package, and multiplexes raw video/audio
streams into an MPEG program stream, like the .vob files found on DVDs.)
